I'm thinking about going on another overseas trip and don't mind preparing some meals but would also like to go out to cafes/restaurants where I can actually eat. So I'm wondering which places can easily cater for us gluten free vegans?

I live in Melbourne (Australia) which I think is pretty easy but am not sure about other places.

You've probably figured this from the boards already, but Portland, Oregon is definitely a great city for gluten-free vegans. Most vegan-friendly places are gluten-free friendly a well. Our fancy-ish all-vegan restaurants both have gluten-free options, we have two all vegan bakeries with gluten-free options and one all gluten-free bakery with vegan options (where you can get artisan gluten-free bread, and cupcakes, and whatnot).

Seattle, Washington- did some research when I was there to find out what to eat, wasn't disappointed

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada- has anything you could ever need! (seriously). They have a Loving Hut, and that's really good!

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada- Green Cuisine comes to mind for vegan gluten free there, I love their cooking! Plus other ppkers probably have more great tips for the two British Columbia recommendations. If you go to either of the latter two cities, you could make a day of it and hit Seattle during the same trip! It's a couple hours' drive from Vancouver and there is a high-speed ferry crossing that will take you there from Victoria, with vegan products onboard (hummus!).

Edinburgh! When I lived in Scotland, I LIVED for going to stay in Edinburgh for a while. It was like an oasis of delicious Gluten-Free Veganity. Happycow lists a lot of good restaurants, but even at a few non-veg places I found food to eat. My favourite place, L'Artichaut, has been assimilated into its non-veg sister restaurant, but I haven't been there since. David Bann is good, and if you ask, they'll give you a menu annotated with everything that's gluten free and how to order almost anything to be gluten-free. The Baked Potato Shoppe is the best place ever in the history of anything, and it's pretty cheap. Henderson's Bistro is also amazing.
